Will this be replaced by tabard vendors that also replace other quest reward tabards?

Comment by coolzo

Great, now there's gonna be "Dora the Explorer's" in wow... how depressing.

Comment by Eminence

just got this today. a few hours after i dinged 80.

its not a nice tabard.. but fits the colors of all the plate armor.. :p and its epic

Comment by PrettyKitty

It would be "The Explorer Dora"

Comment by Grigor12

The actual picture on the tabard is the "Map over Azeroth" if you use a little imagination you can see Northrends 2 ends and Kalimdor to the left and Eastern Kingdoms to the right. So to correct crexcenttwindx's comment its the WoW Globe. :)

Comment by PrettyKitty

Well most titles are "Title (name)"So I thought the title would be that way :P

Comment by Deilin

Thanks. Did you also happen to test it with the Tabard of the Achiever?

Comment by Edawan

If you delete it, can it be recovered at the tabard vendor ?

Comment by ME412

This does count toward the tabard achievements.

Comment by Linithia

What would possess you to delete it?

Comment by Phedora

Lol, my name will read Phedora the Explorer. xD

Comment by xdirtyboots

If you wear this tabard in instances at lvl 80, you get rep for your respective over-arching faction in Northrend, like the Alliance Vanguard or Horde Expedition

Comment by koiter

Now does the exploration carry over from your old WoW exp, or do you have to go out and explore it all again?

Comment by ME412

If the map is revealed pre-3.0 you will not have to go back and reveal the map again.

However, your question is irrelevant to this item as you only need to explore Northrend to obtain it.

Comment by Reurium

Explore the Explorer

Nothing more to say.

Comment by fecility

great , now my tabard of frost isn't epic anymore >_<

Comment by Arasha

This took me 3 days due to my lack of exploration in Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms. I was super jazzed to get it done. I love the the title too. Overall I am just really excited!

Comment by Arasha

I did this as a part of the "World Explorer" achievement. Northrend and Outland are so easy due to the use of a flying mount. Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms are no fun if you didn't do it while leveling... Thank God I am a Paladin and have the Crusader Aura :D The title is cool too, I am now Arasha the Explorer! Very cool

Comment by Icetemplar

This Epicly ugly looking talbard can be bought back from a talbard vendor, now why you'd want it back after deleting it the first time is past me.

Comment by WolvenThrall

Just had to say, when i caught win of them bringing achievements to WoW i thought, could be interesting, and then i heard of 'The Explorer' Title. Luckily a friend of mine started to play via recruit a friend, and i made a paladin with him. Now, my Female Bloodelf paladin, Dora, has 'The Explorer' title

Well worth it for @#$%s and giggles.

Comment by AzeWithBlades

You need to discover all the zones in Northrend to get this tabard.

Comment by JessicaKarli

My boyfriend wanted to make a character named Dora just so he could get this title...

Comment by raba1der

Actually, it's the middle part of the azeroth world map. The blue "globe" the ocean between Eastern Kingdom and Kalimdor. You can see part of the landmases at the edges, including parts of Northrend.

Comment by Nordri

This item can be safely destroyed if you need bag space as tabard vendor in dalaran offers you a new one if you lose it.

Comment by Fianguard

This tabard actually matches the paladin T7.5, I was surprised when I found a tabard that matched gold, gray, and teal. Then again...people say the colours on Valorous Redemption look ugly...people also say that about this tabard!Submitted a screenshot as well.~ There is also a DK named Dorâ the Explorer on my server.

Comment by Dianora

this tabard can be safely destroyed after getting it. It can be recovered from any tabard vendor via dialogue box.

Tier 7 from both 10 and 25 man raids have the exact same skin. Quit bragging.

Comment by shadowhawk117

REMEMBER: The tabard comes in the mail, so no need to track him down! lol

Comment by timand

is easy to have :D

Comment by Lillchris113

The tabard shows kalimdor, eastern kingdoms and northrend, don't need to make a discussion of that ;pThe bubble in the bottom is probably one of the islands out in the great sea.

Comment by FadedSpartan

Its kinda hard to see the different continents on women and blood elves, the entire picture is distorted.

Comment by Madharia

If only the tabard didn't have to be symmetrical. We could actually see the entire continents instead of just half of them. Currently it looks like all you ever explored was the sea.

Comment by Santee

I saw a lvl 29 twink walking with this today, how the hell you manage to get it on that level, good friends i suppose.

Comment by dolfine143

I think blizz should add tabards to a drop down and select category, like the achievement titles so we can have more bags/bank space. Carrying armor sets and profession items, quest items and ect... takes too much room already.

Comment by arrh

you gain this the same way you do after completing For the Horde/Alliance, by ingame mail.

Comment by ctwothej

No one told me how ugly this tabard is for being epic so just putting it out there

Comment by striker33

Pay a Warlock to summon you around northrend and you have a pretty nifty twink tabard here ;)

Comment by RedwoodElf

For some reason, this does NOT count towards the "Ten Tabards" achievement.

Comment by Guanyin

After some hard work I managed to get this on a locked level 1, I'll post a screeny,Completed Kalimdor, working on Eastern Kingdoms and Outlands.I'm moving on to a level 1 explorer :)Corpse dragging takes less time then finding a lock to tele me everywhere,though I have to do that for the Isle of Quel'danas andthe Netherwing Ledge in Shadowmoon Valley

*edit* I know some people will start moaning about this being a fake,I cannot prove it cause the armory doesnt display a level 1.As soon as I have the title as well, I will make a Youtube video.

Comment by Festyr

Pleasantly surprised today to see this giving me Horde Expedition rep while doing heroics. Had never actually worn this before and had no idea it did this.

Comment by Dracomortis

Comment by qillerdaemon

Wow, as much as I wanted this tabard, now that I have it, bleh... it's pretty epicly ugly.

On my fem BE hunter, it just looks like a silver-white blob in the center of my toon's chest. Nothing special at all, any random guild tabard looks better.

The only good thing is it make my toon's sweater puppies look even bigger. Kinda like the tabard comes with a support bra insert, for lift and separation.

edit: what, you can't say "b00bs" ?

Comment by danielcollier07

this is a very good question.......

Comment by Deevan

Confirmed wearing this in Heroics and LVL 80 dungeons gives you Explorer's League reputation on par with other Northrend tabards as Alliance only..

Still no rewards for explorer's league rep are yet in the game, or available to players.

Comment by Drasi

This item allows you to Champion Explorers' League (Gain Rep while running heroics) even though it doesn't show it in the description.

Comment by pharodox

when i wear this tabard i get rep for horde expedition while im doing the randoms...even tho it is ugly ill take the rep anyday

Comment by peeekz

It only gives explorer's league rep for alliance, gives the horde equivalent to the hordies (don't know what they're called). Now what I'm wondering is, is there a tabard for the tuskkar rep?

Comment by master500

The tabard is very nice and you just have to explore Nortrend

Comment by lazypt

got the tabard some time ago, and i love it. i always use it a.but today when i was at Ahn´kahet i got 999/1000 exalted with The hand of veangeace, and after it start to count for The Taunka reputation, apparently, when u get 999exalted on one faction, it starts to count for the next one in ur char page.

Comment by Lithios

Comment by Randythehero

Great way to start off a lvl 19 twink! get any race goto a main city send some gold to him get port to Dalaran and if you have a 2nd account with a 2 seat epic flyer from Recruit a friend log on and fly your alt every where, i did this at lvl 1 and got to lvl 9, i was happy because its an easy way to look more festive how ever you spell that and you lvl up to 9 makeing you 1 lvl away from BG's!

Comment by Elprincipe

You get rep wearing the tabard in lvl80 hc dungeons too. The rep is for the Alliance Vanguard, so it seems the rep is spread over the four factions.

Comment by Meepmeep

This tabard matches the Paladin's Tier 1 set quite nicely, for anyone making a pally twink out there

Edit: forgot to mention, if you have a friend with the X-53 nether rocket, this achievement is easy to get

Comment by hiteSPARKYZ

For people saying this Tabard gives Explorer's League rep, its not a rep tabard like the Ebon Blade tabard. When not wearing a specific rep tabard, you simply get reputation with the Alliance Vanguard or Expedition (not sure which) or Horde equivalents, and once you're exalted with both of them, you get 25% of the rep you would've gotten for them for your highest subfaction.

Comment by Ganbantein

Getting this tabard and the world explorer achievement is much easier in cataclysm because you can use fast flying mounts due to the Flight master's license

Comment by Dustman

I got this tabard as level 1 on foot. Was extremely difficult.

Not sure why this was down voted. I did achieve this as level 1. But it was back when we could actually graveyard hop. Was for my level 1 twink rogue.

Comment by Fadeheart

Somebody was named Dora, and got the Tabard and the Explorer title!

Comment by j1nz0

Kinda ironic that nobody mentioned "Internet, the Explorer"...

Comment by RavageDionne

Well, it seems like it no longer will be mailed to you anymore. Just completed it, relogged, and talked to the tabard vendor. No tabard to be found.

Comment by Azurfel

Even though Explore Northrend itself is now an account level achievement, and thus can only be completed once per account, completing the individual criteria will result in the Tabard of the Explorer being mailed to that character and added to their recoverable tabards at the tabard vendor.

Comment by vindurza

fun fact this tabard showed pandaria long before it made it into the game don't believe me check the dates on the screen shots and count the number of continents on it

Comment by thomask11

I bought this from the tabard vendor in Orgrimmar. Don't ask me how, but I did. Look for my my character in armory and you can see that I don't have the achievement but I do have the tabard. Name: Morvo Realm: Kazzak-EU level: 25 atm. I'm sorry for not making the screenshot, for I thought it was a regular thing at the time.

Comment by Julow

If you have the achievement for this tabard on your account, you will be able to get it on other alts by going to the tabard vendor :)

Comment by Varothar

This tabard showed us Panda land was going down the bottom there... look :P

Comment by jay86

its worth it :)

Comment by Globegnome

This is for anyone playing on Starter Edition like me: after completing the achievement, the tabard will arrive in mail. The problem is that the mailbox feature is unavailable for Starter Edition accounts. However, you'll still be able to get it by talking to one of the tabard vendors. Just click the line saying "I've lost my Tabard of the Explorer" in the dialogue box.
